Interior Design Fair
Budapest Sportarena
2025. S/EPTEMBER 19-20-21.
The S/ALON BUDAPEST design competition provides an annual opportunity for Hungarian designers, studios, and creators to showcase their creative vision based on a specific theme.
This year’s competition theme is light, focusing on its spatial-organizing power. Accordingly, the installations can incorporate various light refraction techniques, colored light sources, designer lamps, iridescent surfaces, and smart lighting solutions. We aim to realize designs that treat light as a multifunctional tool and boldly combine different techniques and materials.
The S/ALON BUDAPEST design competition closed on July 31, 2024. The event’s professional team selected 8 designers or design teams from well-developed and exciting entries to bring their concepts to life at the S/ALON BUDAPEST home trend exhibition, which will take place from September 20-22, 2024, at the Budapest Arena.

Szandra Szentgyörgyi is a designer who creates lamps and light installations for both public and private interior spaces. Due to their size, her installations are often unique, monumental pieces.
For her, the most exciting aspect of designing a lamp is the interaction between material and light, as different lighting can give the same material a completely new appearance and light effect. Her works are presented under the Saintsan brand name.

The LightCore Studio creates hyper-exclusive lamps that reinterpret plant structures through complex technological processes. Ildi Sarkadi planted the first "light seed" in 2016 in the Canary Islands. Her creative intuition is guided by her technical expertise and perfectionism.
The process of sourcing, working with materials, and integrating light aligns with the principles of Slow Design. Sarkadi allows the material’s gradually revealed needs to guide the creation process. Each of her works is a unique story, a singular, unrepeatable collaboration between material and light.
